Legendary The Feelies perform Deep Fascination live:

And even better (not in sound quality, alas), their Crazy Rhythms (1980):

Anton Fier was the great drummer on the The Feelies' superb debut album... he left for another great band, The Lounge Lizards.

The last time I saw them years ago Joseph Jarman was not with the band and it was just not the same.

Ahhh, the old AACM stuff...

I... kinda stopped listening to Hardcore while I was 17. Since then I never went higher than 150bpm anymore.

Still have 4 Thunderdome CDs though - god, sure is scary to what you've listened to as kids. Heh...

Probably the height of the Philip Glass ensemble came in the mid-80s. This one is from Glassworks featuring Jon Gibson on sax, Dora Ohrenstein doing vocals and Michael Reisman (whose left hand bass work is amazing). I saw the ensemble the year before this in Baltimore and managed to get into the auditorium early on my date's press pass. Glass was like James Brown in his insistence on absolute timing perfection. (Dora Ohrenstein also played accompanying vocals on an Emulator sampler, which was pretty cool). Not so a few years later when I saw the ensemble play Koyaanisqatsi live to the film in Washington DC. They used samplers to do all the string parts and it was horrible. No dynamic range and you could hear the imperfect sample loop points. Embarrassing.

Rubric:

And from his big hair days with the ensemble and some Einstein on the Beach excerpts (which I saw live at the Brooklyn Academy of music while on mushrooms . . . wow!)
Spaceship and Field pts 1&2:

(listen to the bass synth after Glass talks at the end...classic Reisman jaw-dropping left handed work!)
